It is clear from reviewing the MROSD Coastal Annexation Plan that this Special District is neither a competent resource manager of their current 46,000 acre Biomass Fuel Depot nor are they prepared to
provide San Mateo County coastal residents with a watershed resource management plan, wildland/urban interface (WUI) fire management plan or fiscal business plan.

The Coastside Fire Safe Council finds it alarming that the MROSD Board of Directors clearly doesn't understand the sole purpose of the CEQA environmental review process: The California Supreme Court has
declared: `` CEQA' purpose is to inform the public and its responsible officials of the environmental consequences of their decisions ``BEFORE" they are made.
Thus, the EIR protects not only the environment but also informed self-government." The MROSD annexation approach to ``Urban Open Space Sprawl" is not only the antithesis of CEQA but contrary to the basic principles of ``informed consent".

Over the last thirty years, the District has created a 46,000 acre ``Biomass Fuel Depot"
(aka MROSD open space urban green belt) that places all San Francisco Peninsula communities at risk of a catastrophic WUI wildfire.
